maybe it stems from the same promblem that allows eccm "pinging"

Also keep in mind that ICC planets having shields don't mean anything anymore since neutron and bio bombs go right through them.

thatd be true, if any of ICC turned their shields on and off rapidly, which im gonna say now they probably dont. some people keep their shields off while bombing to conserve energy, but thats pretty much it.
and as for ICC being "offensive"
to my understanding, youre implying that we should have NO offensive specialisation of any kind? yes, thatd be lovely...
heres the deal, ICC bomb planets to dust, capture them, then defend those planets. thats how we work. people who accuse us of planet camping are dead on - ITS WHAT WERE GOOD AT =) the idea is that we can advance on a planet and take it easily, and defend it reasonably well. honestly, if you cant take back the planets we leave behind us you must not be that good, since most of the planets we capture wind up with no structures on them whatsoever... prime targets. if UGTO did it that way they wouldnt get newhere, wed be doing flyby tranny rushes all over =P

Assault Disruptors were just fixed, and should be in the next update.
As for the shields, Jack doesnt know what he is talking about because what he just said is completely wrong...

Hmm their shields arn't that bad. But if they do buff them up a bit they will need to reduce the firepower otherwise they will have high def and offence. Against 10 kluth disriptors they will go down fast yea, but kluth is the high offence faction and thats the whole idea

All I know is that I have a VERY hard time killing ICC destroyers with my lvl 10 mandy...
I mean... it's even harder than killing Assault Cruisers or even Dreads...
3 alpha's and they still have shields on... I can't touch their hull...
Maybe it's just that I'm fighting against vets who know how to properly rotate their shields.
I find it a lot easier to kill Assault cruisers and Missile Dreads...
But if you say this is about right, ok... I can live with it as long as they can't kill me either...

Yeah ICC dreads you have to gang up on and deplete their shields fast. Otherwise it's a long fight and you'll come out the loser.

All I'll say is that it does seem harder to punch through the shields one the destroyers than on the Dreadnaughts. It seems that way.

Viper 10 Beams of any kind hitting your Shiels is going to affect your Shields.
